Power Rankings: The 13 Best Super Bowl commercials

The 2015 Super Bowl commericals were kind of meh. Every year you go in expecting these amazing awesome commercials and every year you’re always left disappointed. We had kids dying, Fiats getting boners, pigs flying, lost dogs, and movie trailers. Here’s the top 13 ranked:

 

The dumbest:

 

McDonald’s Payment thing

Dumbest commercial ever. Here, take my dollar and hand me my McChicken, please. McDonald’s has really been trying hard at this “heartwarming commercial” thing and each one has backfired and been met with criticism. Everyone knows your food is unhealthy as fuck. Quit trying to be something you’re not and let me enjoy my Quarter Pounder and fries. I know it’s bad for me and I’m still going to willingly eat it.

 

The Best

13. Jeff Bridges Squarespace

Still don’t know what Squarespace is but anything with The Dude creepily humming next to a sleeping couple always makes the list.

 

12. Jurassic World Trailer

Can’t. Wait.

 

11. Nationwide Dead Kid

This commercial went 100 to 0 real quick. What the fuck, Nationwide? Biggest stage in the world and you hit us across the face with this?

“I hope you’re enjoying this Super Bowl between two great teams but don’t enjoy it too much because right now your child could be taking a bath and he’s probably going to drown and die a terrible slow death. Now here’s some insurance you can buy.”

This by no means is an endorsement of this commercial but you can’t deny the impact it had. By far the most talked about commercial of the night.

 

10. Carl’s Jr w/Charlotte McKinney

Carl’s Jr. introduced an all natural burger. Hey Nationwide, let’s follow the script from Carl’s Jr. here… Instead of dead kids depressing everyone how about we use burgers & hot swimsuit models that make everyone happy?

 

9. Snickers Brady Bunch

Solid B.

 

8. Loctite Glue

 

7. Avocados Animal Draft

Just great execution all around. Can you imagine the numbers the kangaroo probably put up at the combine?

 

6. Doritos pigs fly

Good stuff. There’s a Browns/Super Bowl joke in there somewhere.

 

5. Skittles Arm Wrestling

If we’re being completely honest the first thing I thought of was Family Guy and the Quagmire internet porn scene.

 

4. Fiat Blue Pill

Fiat coming in strong with boner jokes. Giving a Fiat a Viagra is like giving a Japanese guy a Viagra. Even when it gets bigger it still doesn’t handle well, leaves the driver unsatisfied, and is still pretty small.

 

3. Doritos Middle Seat

Anyone who’s ever flown knows the horrors of sitting next to a passenger from hell on an airplane. You’re always next to the guy who takes up the armrest and whose belly fat spills into your seat.

 

2. Microsoft Braylon O’Neill

Awesome. And I thought I was brave for going out in last night’s snowstorm to pick up pizza. Cheers to this little guy.

(I thought this was gonna take a very dark turn after that Nationwide commercial)

 

1. Budweiser Lost Dog

Was there ever a doubt? Americans love puppies, the Budweiser clydesdales, and happy endings. Anheuser Busch hit it out of the park per usual.

 

To continue the Browns stellar offseason; Johnny Manziel is entering rehab

 

Whoa. After and up and down year let’s hope he gets the help he needs and comes back strong next year. This is a good start, everyone knows he loves to party. Hopefully this makes him realize the opportunity he has in front of himself.

Even when the Browns aren’t playing they still dominate the headlines I guess.

And to think that asshole Skip Bayless was right

PS- Has anyone made the joke that he just means “Rehab” as like the club in Vegas?

 

Mishmash- 9 year old dumb suspension, Cop pulls gun at snowball fight, Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart/Jimmy Fallon

——

A 9 year old in Texas got suspended because he told his friend he’d “make him disappear” 

——

Obviously we don’t know the whole story but on the surface it seems like pulling your gun to respond to a snowball fight just may be a tad excessive

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and now there’s 6 more weeks of winter

Ted 2 with Tom Brady

Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, and Jimmy Fallon have a lip sync battle
